the mainstream benchmarks had

Quote:

2 x 512MB Corsair XMS4000 Pro (operating in dual channel at 200MHz with 2.0-2-2-10 timings)

I am running 10X7 with FSAA 2X & AF 4X ... with Max & Med setting.

and he has 512mb....

i think Fear puts more stress on the videocard than anything else so as long as you have a good video card i dont see a problem.
but if you really want 2gb and have the money than go for it. and of course 2gb would be better but i dont think its really needed. but thats my opinion.
